Historic mining practices have left the Carson River and Lahontan Reservoir (CRLR) system contaminated with high levels of mercury (Hg). Hg levels in Lahontan Reservoir planktivorous and predatory fish exceed federal human ...

Since the widespread construction of wastewater facilities in the United States beginning in the 1970s, treatment technology has advanced slowly. Small changes have been adapted throughout the years; however, the layout ...

Vernal pools are ephemeral wetlands that exist in local geographic depressions with relatively impermeable substrates. Vernal pools are typically filled with water primarily from direct precipitation in the winter and ...

The Reno-Sparks Indian Colony (RSIC) has reservation land located on 1,960 acres in Hungry Valley, Washoe County, Nevada; located approximately 10 miles north of Reno. Future growth of the community is dependent on sustainable ...

Under seismic excitations reinforced concrete bridge columns (RCC) are subjected to combinations of forces and deformations. These complex actions are caused by spatially-complex variation of earthquake ground motions, the ...

<bold>Abstract</bold>This project evaluates the affects of climate change, and to some degree groundwater pumping, on the magnitude and timing of changes in groundwater levels and spring discharge in the Amargosa Desert ...

Geochemical analysis of Snake Creek was initiated as a result of the Southern Nevada Water Authority's request for the export of water from rural Nevada basins. The creek is important because of ecologically sensitive ...

Mining of disseminated low-grade ore requires the removal of hundreds of millions of kg of rock resulting in large open pits. This type of large-scale mining has increased substantially in the past several decades in the ...

ABSTRACTThis main objective of this study was focused on a proof-of-concept study of the performance of an adaptive bearing (AB) system under traffic and wind loadings, featuring magnetorheological elastomers (MREs). MREs ...

Measured streamflow data in a given basin are important for determining regional patterns of climate and streamflow trends, but are often unavailable or extend back less than 100 years. Observed streamflows can be regressed ...
